Bydgoska Fundacja Wolnej Myśli

Bydgoska Fundacja Wolnej Myśli (Bydgoszcz Free Thought Foundation) is a Polish non-profit institution founded in 2009 by Mariusz Gawlik. Based in Bydgoszcz, it promotes freethought, rationalism, and scientific knowledge, and is best known as the operator of the Racjonalista.pl website — a major Polish-language portal for rationalist, secular, and freethought content. The foundation also engages in publishing, organizes conferences and seminars, runs an online bookstore, and advocates for the separation of church and state. It is funded primarily by voluntary donations and the assets of its board, and it allocates funds to scholarships for youth, server costs, and licensing fees for published texts. The foundation is a private, non-listed entity.

Bydgoska Fundacja Wolnej Myśli (Bydgoszcz Free Thought Foundation) was established in 2009 by Mariusz Gawlik as a Polish institution with a rationalist ideology. Its statutory mission is to promote a freethought attitude and to spread knowledge from various fields of science. The foundation is closely associated with the Racjonalista.pl portal, which serves as an intellectual base for Polish rationalists and a virtual association for like-minded individuals. The portal publishes articles on worldview, religion, philosophy, science, society, law, politics, and culture, and tracks absurdities, superstitions, quackery, prejudices, lies, phobias, and stupidity. Over time, the foundation expanded its activities to include publishing (through its bookstore "Sklepik Racjonalisty"), organizing conferences and seminars related to its ideology, intervening in cases of violations of freedom of speech, worldview neutrality, and journalistic ethics, and advocating for the separation of church and state. It is funded mainly by voluntary donations and the assets of its board. Donations in 2009, 2010, and 2011 amounted to 6,250 PLN, 12,217 PLN, and 6,521 PLN respectively, and the foundation's account balance on 1 January 2012 was 3,908 PLN. Funds are used primarily for scientific scholarships for youth, server costs, and licensing fees for published texts.
